How to Read Flowcharts
A flowchrrt is dasigned to be us€d fiom start to final repair. lt's like a map showing you the shortest distanco. But be-
ware: if you go off tho "map" anywhere but a "stop" symbol, you can easily get lost
l6rffil Desclibas the conditions or situation to start a troubleshooting flowchart.(bold tyDo)
|TeTiONl Asks you to do something; pedorm a test, set up a condition etc'

NOTE:
a Tha tarm ,,lntormittgnt Failure" is used in these chans. lt simply means a system may have had a failur6, but it chocks
out OK !t this time. lf th6 Msltunction Indicator Lamp (MlL) on ihe dash does not come on, check for poor connections
or loose wires at all connectors rolated to the cilcuit that you are troubleshooting (see illustration b6low).
a Most ot tho troublashooting flowchans have you reset the Engine Control Module (ECM) and try to duplicate the Disg-
nostic Troubls Cod6 (DTC). lf the problem is intermittent and you c8n't duplicat€ the cod6, do not continus through
the flowchart, To do so will only rosult in confusion and, possibly, a ne€dlessly replaced ECM
a ,,opon,'and ,,short,, are common electrical terms. An open is a break in a wir6 or at a conn€ction. A short is an
accidontal connaction ot a wir€ to ground or to another wire. In simple electronics, this usually means som€thing won't
work at all. In complex electronics (like ECM's), this can sometimes mean something wolks, but not the way it's sup-
poSad to,

PGM-FI System
System Description
ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECMIOUTPUTS
PGM-Fl System
The PGM-Fl system on this model is a sequential multipon fuel injection system,
Fuol Iniector Timing and Duration
The ECM contains memories tor the basic discharge durations at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. Thebasic discharge duration, after being read out from the memory, is turther modilied by signals sent from vanous sensofsto obtain the final discharge duration.
ldle Air Control
ldle Air Control Valve (lAC Vatve)
When the engine is cold, the A/C compressor is on, the transmission is in gear (A/T only) the brake pedal is depressed,the P/S load is high, or the alternalor is charging, the ECM controls current to the IAC Valve to maintain correct idle soeed.
lgnition Timing Controla The ECM contains mamories for basic ignition timing at various engine speeds and manifold pressures. lgnition timingis also adjusted for engine coolant temperature.a A Knock Control System is also used. when detonation is detected by the knock sensof. the ignition timing is retarded(B18Cl engine).
Other Control Functions
1. Starting Control
When the engine is started. the ECM provides a rich mixture by increasing fuel injector duration.2. Fuel Pump Control
a When the ignition switch is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground to the PGM-Fl main relay that suppliescurrent to the fuel pump tor two seconds to pressurize the tuel system.a When the engine is running, the ECM supplies gfound to the PGM-Fl main relay that supplies current to the fuel pump.a When the engine is not running and the ignition is on, the ECM cuts ground to the PGM-FI main relav which cutscurrent to the fuel pump.

3. Fuel Cut-oft Control
a During deceleration with the throttle valve closed, current to the {uel injectors is cut otJ to improve fuel economy
at speeds over tollowing rpm:
. 8188l engine: 91O tpm (Canada model: 1,O50 rpm)
. 818C1 engine: 95O tpm (Canada model: l,O5O rpm)
a Fuel cut-olf action also takes place when engine speed exceeds, 7,O0O rpm {81 8B1 engine), 8,1O0 rpm (B 18Cl
engine), regardless oI the position of the throttle valve, to protect the engine from ovet-revving.
A/C Compressor Clutch Relay
When the ECM receives a domand for cooling trom the air conditioning system, it del8ys the compressor from being
enetgized, and enriches the mixture to assure smooth transition to the A/C mode.
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Purge Control Solenoid Valve
When the engine coolant tempersture is below 163oF {73"C), the ECM supplies a ground to the EVAP pu.ge control
solenoid valve which cuts vacuum to the EVAP purge control diaphragm valve.
Intake Air Bypsss (lAB) Control Sol€noid Valve
When the engine rpm is below 5,750 rpm, the IAB control solenoid valve is activated by a signal from the ECM,
intske air flows through the long intake path, then high torque is delivered. At spaeds highe. than 5,750 rpm, the
solenoid valve is deactivated by the ECM, and intake air flows through the short intake path in order to reduce the
resistance in airflow.
ECM fail-safe/bEck-up Functions
1. Fail-sate Function
When an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM ignores that signal and assumes a pre-progtammed
value tor that sensor that allows the engine to continue to run.
Back-uD Function
When an abnormalitv occurs in the ECM itself, the fuel iniectors are controlled by a back-up citcuit independent of
the system in order to permit minimal driving.
Self-diagnosis Function IMaltunction Indicator Lamp {MlL)1
Wh6n an abnormality occurs in a signal from a sensor, the ECM supplies ground for the MIL and stores the code
in erasable memory. When the ignition is initially turned on, the ECM supplies ground tor the MIL tor two seconds
to check the MIL bulb condition.
Two Trio Detection Method
To prevent tals€ indications, th€ Two Trip Dstection Method is used for the HO2S and fuel metering-related self-
diagnostic tunctions. When an abnormslity occurs, the ECM stores it in its memo.y. Wh€n the ssme sbnormality
recurs alter the ignition switch is turned OFF and ON ag8in, the ECM informs the driver by lighting the MlL.
However, to ease troubleshooting, this function is canc€ll€d when you short the service check connector. The MIL
will then blink immedistelv when an abnormality occurs.

2. lf the above items are normal, substitute a known-good IAC vslv€ and readjust the idle speed (see page 11-95)'
. It the idle speed srill cannot be adjusted to speciJication (and the MIL does not blink code 14) after IAC valve
roplacement, substitute a known-good ECM and recheck. It symptom goes away, replsce the original ECM.
